"Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am I; send me!"
I have no more strength I have nothing more to give. I am so tired. I am done. I can't.
This week I have been half tempted to just quit, and say forget it. There are too many who seem to be ready to pull the lynch pin and leave me out to dry. But the reality is that I am in week six. I do not need to let that bother me anymore.
I have to give up so that Jesus Christ can do the work.
I was born in the Amazing state of California; raised in Arkansas, and returned to California, where I later came to know Jesus Christ as Lord. I felt the call of God on my life for the Gospel Ministry at the age of 4 years old, and that call was later affirmed when I was a teen ager. I began working toward the work of the Ministry from that time on. I was ordained on June 20 1993 in my hometown of Laytonville CA. Later I moved north to Humboldt County where I worked for a time with the Humboldt County Sheriff's Dept. I left Humboldt County in response to God's call. I was received as Pastor of a struggling congregation that later closed. In 1999, I was asked to serve as the Pastor for a church plant in St Louis Missouri. I was officially hired to be the Pastor on January 4 2003. In April 2012 I was elected by my denomination to serve as Bishop, serving the United States, Canada and Mexico. I was consecrated Bishop and Emissary of Christ on July 14, 2012 after a unanimous vote from the congregations in standing. There have been many changes for the Glory of God, the road has not been easy; there have been many tears, but every moment with Jesus Christ is worth the struggles and hardships. For the Joy of my life and my strength is Jesus Christ. As a student at Nazarene Bible College, I am studying Pastoral Ministries with a double major in Bible and Theology. I am looking forward to what God is going to do with my life. I will do my best to post here regularly if you keep reading. In addition, I have come to understand that my actions as a Christian must be Intentional. In the Spiritual sense, To be transformed means to point beyond one's self and to the One who is greater--Jesus Christ. This is the point of this blog...to testify how God has transformed me into the image of Christ for service to others. I pray that this blog, will bless, encourage, and challenge you to be transformed for the purpose of Christ to serve others.
